Re: [MBZ] OT The Chip That Changed the World,Most of the wealth created since 1971 is a result of Intel’s 4004 microprocessor.
The 4004 was a good chip for 1971. There were others, but the 4004 was adopted by NASA I believe for hand held calculators, and being made in large quantities (for the time) and not a proprietary military chip, became the basis for a lot of early small computers. Mainframes at the time had a lot of discrete components. Sadly the Japanese inventor decided he didn't want to live in America any more, and went back to Japan after the 4004 was finalized, and all subsequent developments were derivative. The 8008 and Z80 (clones by other people of Intel designs are not new) were adopted by Digital Research as the basis for their computing equipment (with an amazing 5GB hard drive!) in the late 70s, and we've been stuck with them ever since. I suspect the lack of innovation also had a great deal to do with the very early death of the founder of Intel, and the company has been run by corporate drones ever since. Can't criticize the 4004, it was a good design, but later implementations because worse and worse, and when 286 CPU came out Intel could not design a math co-processor chip using CMOS technology, and the NMOS version routinely caught fire in use. They had to help set up AMD to make a working chip, and it still required a lot of extra cooling. Coupled with Mommy getting Billy a deal from an old friend and IBM's inability to make functioning hardware or write an OS after VMS, we got stuck with low grade software pirated from someone else and second rate processors. Water under the bridge now, and the Intel based computer will be history soon. Hopefully Windows will be too! No intel chips in cell phones, eh?

Re: [MBZ] sudden total vacuum loss
The W116 pump has separate connections for the brake booster line and the "accessory" line. IIRC on the W123 the "accessory" vacuum was a T connection off of the brake booster line itself. Turned out the problem was the main "accessory" vacuum line connection at the pump. There's a short section of rubber tubing connecting the pump to a more rigid plastic tube. That plastic tube had popped out of the short rubber tube section. It looks like it could really do with a bit more slack there, I'll have to find a new piece of rubber tubing and make it a bit longer.

Re: [MBZ] OT: 1989 Land Rover 110
Those things have quite a following and are very popular, esp those in good condition which this one seems to be. A buddy of mine has an old one, green, probably older than that. It is basically agricultural technology but pretty much indestructible by anything but rust. He drives it around a lot. Another buddy who is a mechanic by trade found one a year or two ago that was sorta rusty, I think it is 70s vintage, it looks like a POS but runs fine and he loves it. I don't think he paid much for it as it had some issues that he fixed easy enough. This guy also has a slammed VW bus so there's that aspect too... --FT On 11/16/21 10:37 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: Cool looking truck.

Yeah as I was thinking about it last night, since there is no change in my brakes the vacuum pump itself must still be working.
